General horoscopes are always meant for entertainment purposes only. For a more accurate view, read your Sun sign, Rising sign, and Moon sign.

ARIESEnjoying yourself and having a good time are what you strive for most this month. The Full Moon in your sign October 11th may drain you, giving you a responsibility you don't want or making you paranoid or insecure. Watch for being overly optimistic or overindulgent on the 3rd. The 26th brings a good work ethic and good date night. Tempers flare the 28th.

TAURUSImaginations soar the 7th. You may feel a little more powerful and sexy on the 13th. You may be indulging in the senses the 14th, eating too much ice cream and chocolate and buying things you don't need. Watch your temper and energy levels on the 26th. You may have trouble embracing the imaginative on Halloween. The home and family are likely your main focus for the month.

GEMINIYou may be communicating even more than usual this month, and that's saying something for a Gemini! You may feel restricted on the 6th, but feel a surge in power the 16th. The 17th could bring trouble with communications, and people just aren't hearing you. Make sure you don't say something you regret in the heat of the moment on the 28th.

CANCERFor this month, increasing your self-esteem, working on your value system, and dealings with money are most likely to be the primary focal points. The Full Moon on the 11th may possibly bring a bump in the road with your career, with an authority figure, with a parent, or with where you're going in life. The New Moon on the 26th may remind you to have some more fun.

LEOMars is in your sign all month, so you will likely see an increase in energy, vigor, and drive. You may have a little oomph in your step. Make sure you have plenty of outlets for all that energy! You'll likely channel that energy wisely on the 13th, getting done projects that needing finishing, and could be a daydreamer on the 21st, wanting a short break from life.

VIRGOYour energy may be hidden this month, and you'll likely do better behind the scenes and behind closed doors than in the spotlight. You may feel more drained than usual, and just not up for doing much. This'll likely be felt more on the 6th and 28th. Virgo's always harder on itself than most, so give yourself the month to recharge the batteries. It's okay to take some time for yourself!

LIBRAYou may want to spend time being the social butterfly that you are, enjoying your friends and participating in groups and causes this month. Watch for possible difficulties in relationships with the Full Moon on the 11th. Don't shrink from responsibilities or let someone else dump theirs on you. Watch for low energy on the 26th, and a possible temper, yours or someone else's.

SCORPIOThe New Moon on the 26th is in Scorpio, bringing positivity and new projects. Venus enters Scorpio the 9th, great to get a haircut, buy new clothes, or meet someone. Mercury enters Scorpio the 13th - an increase in your communications. The Sun enters Scorpio the 23rd, increasing vitality. The 28th could bring something positive or expanding.

SAGITTARIUSWatch for possible low energy on the 3rd, laziness on the 14th, and icky communications on the 17th. The 28th could be a time where you feel more powerful and in control, and you can get what you want. The month's main focus will likely be the things Sagittarius loves most - expanding your mind, travel, debating philosophical ideas, and enjoying other cultures.

CAPRICORNYou may feel more probing this month, and have a higher sex drive. The 6th may be a communications day, you could shine the 13th, and the 26th could bring the most energy for you of the month. The Full Moon on the 11th could bring problems in your home life related to your work life. Make sure your career doesn't become more important than your loved ones.

AQUARIUSThere'll likely be less focus on you and more on everyone else this month. If you want to work on something in any of your relationships, now may be the time to do it. Clear the air and let things out into the open. The October 11th Full Moon may make this clearing out of communications necessary but rough. The New Moon on the 26th could be good for your career.

PISCESGetting your health in good order could be good for this month. If you're looking for a new job or want to improve your current work situation, October may be good for that, though watch for a financial problem around the October 11th Full Moon. The 7th may be a love day, the 12th could be communication day, and the 21st may likely be all about you.

Neptune and Pluto are generational planets, taking many years to go through a sign. In the natal chart, their house position is usually more important for each individual than the sign position as a result. Neptune's location tends to show areas where you experience the least mental focus, the most foggy thinking. Neptune isn't very clear-headed and loves dreams, illusions, delusions, so you can be prone to not seeing things clearly with those areas. Pluto is not so foggy, Pluto is powerful and shows areas we have the most power or experience the most power/control issues in life. He's also transformative, so his location can show where we must undergo many transformations in our lives.

In prediction, Neptune can show where our thinking is less clear, and we're not able to see the full details in situations. Neptune also has a "dissolving" energy, so he can also bring dissolvement in the areas of life related to where he's transiting. Pluto is transforming, and sometimes to the point of ripping apart everything in your life (especially in the 1st house, 2nd house, or making a harsh aspect to your Sun or Moon). Pluto wants change, demands change, in the name of developing more power and control. Transform the areas of life ruled by where Pluto's going through, otherwise he'll do it for you.

In astrology, the different zodiac signs and planets rule different parts of the body and health issues. When a transit (moving) planet hits one of your planets, it can affect not only the area of life the planet rules, but also the part of your body the planet governs as well. The signs on the cusp of your 1st and 6th houses (houses of the self and of health) can also show health issues you’re more prone to having, as well as any planet within those two houses. Here’s a list of some body parts and health issues each sign/planet rule:

Mercury is a personal planet, ruling your communication style. His sign and house position as well as aspects show how you get your point across, how you learn, how you listen (or if you even do), the tempo and rhythm of your mind. and what stimulates you mentally. Uranus is a generational planet, and is erratic, all over the place energy. His location tends to show areas where you'll experience unrest and constant change. You can't experience "normal" with the areas of life ruled by where Uranus is in your chart, they'll have to be different in some way, otherwise things won't work out. Often Uranus is the most difficult in the 7th house, the house of relationships, because many people with this position will try to fight the fact that they can't have a "conventional" relationship or be with a "conventional" person to their detriment. Embrace the zaniness of Uranus, and you'll have a lot less problems.

In prediction, Mercury shows what areas of life you'll be mentally focused on or will be having the most conversations about (even if it's just with yourself). Difficult aspects to your Mercury can show fights, misunderstandings. Uranus shows where life will be erratic; this can be unstable, unsettling energy if you don't try to use it right, or it can bring much needed change, new scenery, breath of fresh air, all that nice stuff. We can't keep everything exactly the same forever! The only constant in life is change, right?

Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, and the 3rd and 6th houses; Uranus rules Aquarius and the 11th house.

Jupiter and Saturn are opposite sides of the same coin: Jupiter expands, is joyful, optimistic; Saturn contracts, is cautious, realistic. In the natal chart, Jupiter can show areas where we experience greater ease or "luck" in our lives, where things come more easily to us. Saturn shows the areas where we experience the greatest difficulties, the most challenges, and have the most to learn. Saturn is often a misunderstood planet, seen as highly negative, but really, he just wants us to learn life's lessons. In the natal chart, Saturn often shows the areas where we'll face challenges until "adulthood," or after we experience our first Saturn return in our late 20's/early 30's (it's when transit - moving - Saturn returns to the exact position it was at when you were born; it's seen as one of the aspects that signals the start of adulthood).

In prediction, wherever Jupiter is, we tend to have things fall into place with greater ease. Sometimes this will occur without you doing anything, but usually you have to put in even just a little effort. If you don't, then it'll usually manifest as laziness and missing opportunities. Jupiter going through the 1st house or in the sign of your Sun or Moon can also be good for losing weight (if you put in the effort) or gaining weight (if you don't). Saturn in prediction is tricky. Usually at first, he'll bring difficulty with the areas of life the house he's going through rules. This is because, again, he wants you to learn life's lessons, so if you haven't been behaving properly, making good decisions and being responsible, he'll force to. Any problems he brings tend to come in the first half of the transit. As he nears the end of a house, things tend to improve, especially if you've been working better, and if you're doing everything right, then you'll usually be rewarded. Saturn's hardest during his first tour through your houses; after your Saturn return, you enter the second tour, and it tends to get easier with each tour afterwards (because, obviously, you keep learning lessons and need him less).

Halloween is in a few weeks and many are on the hunt for the perfect costume. Let your sign give you some ideas!

ARIESAries is energy, fire, heat, strength. Try a fireman, cop, or military uniform. An athlete could work too. For the ladies, how about Wonder Woman? A Hell's Angel? An angel in spandex.

TAURUSTaurus is earthy, sensual. Try a chef or some sort of food (like a twinkie, pumpkin, banana - peel me!). Taurus also rules teachers - hot for teacher, anyone? If you're doing something as a couple, try Adam and Eve.

GEMINIGemini is mental, dual. Is an actual twin too literal? Maybe the Olsen twins. Or the Bobsey twins. Or the Minnesota Twins. How about Two-face from Batman? Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? Or do like Michael Scott from The Office and attach a second head to your shoulder. You could also be a newsman or a famous writer.

CANCERCancer is emotional, nurturing. Mother Earth? Mother Goose? Father Time? June Cleaver, Paul Bunyan, a shrink. I also like someone dressed in a suit of armor. Just don't stab anyone when you get crabby.

LEOLeo is drama, royal. Of course we know Leo is the lion, so you can go literal. You can be a famous actor/actress, or dress up as a king/queen. A couple could be William and Kate. How about an action hero? I can kind of see a werewolf here too.

VIRGOVirgo is hard-working, service-oriented. Break out the sexy secretary or naughty librarian or Catholic schoolgirl look. Virgo gets all the classically kinky costumes since it rules chastity AND perversions (how contradicting). How about an accountant? Virgo rules small animals - a vet? Or a small animal.

LIBRALibra is fair, social. Libra's the scales. Try a judge (with nothing on underneath?). Libra is social - how about a Kardashian? Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kevin, any socialite will do. Libra is also the sign of partnerships, so it could be good to go as a famous duo: Sonny and Cher, Captain and Tenille, Brooks and Dunn, Thelma and Louise. No driving off a cliff!

SCORPIOScorpio is secretive, dark. Scorpio would be the classic witch or vampire. Catwoman or a dominatrix could work (basically any costume requiring black leather, spandex, and a whip). How about a spy? Or a biker? That can be Aquarius too.

SAGITTARIUSSagittarius is open, free. Sagittarius loves to fly, so try a pilot or Superman. Sagittarius loves the outdoors, so maybe a hiker, outdoorsman, a jungle person. Mowgli and Baloo? Tarzan and Jane? You can also try a lawyer or any kind of preacher/priest/nun etc.

CAPRICORNCapricorn is career and social status minded. Capricorn can be a business person. Politician. The Obamas. Doctor. Dr. Phil. Dr. Drew. Capricorn rules older people - grandparents. Capricorn is obsessed with it's social standing - a real housewife of Beverly Hills? Atlanta? D.C.? Sheboygan?AQUARIUSAquarius is ethereal, rebel. Here's an angel. Maybe not too pure. Too pure would be Pisces. You can try being a geek. Emo. Punk. Think any kind of rebel. Aquarius rules electronics if you want to go for an inanimate object. Push my buttons.
